	Checking
	Notes on self-locking nuts and bolts	All models	AH00.00-N-0001-01A
1	Perform a wheel alignment check		AR40.20-P-0200GZ
2	Read specified value for camber from the specified value table and compare with the result of the chassis alignment	Camber at vehicle level	*BE40.20-P-1001-09Y
		Permissible rear axle camber between right and left vehicle side In the event of larger deviations in wheel camber the following causes may exist: Too great a difference in vehicle level between right and left-hand sides of vehicle. Deformation of the camber strut (1). Deformation of rear axle carrier, e.g. through accident damage. Deformation of the body, e.g. due to accident damage. Check for impermissible deformation on body. Refer to: ↓	*BE40.20-P-1002-09Y
		Checking accident vehicles and vehicles possibly damaged in an accident	AR40.30-P-0400GZ
	Adjust camber
3.1	Loosen nut of cam bolt (2)	Only if the wheel camber has to be adjusted.
4.1	Adjust wheel camber via cam bolt (2)	Only if the wheel camber has to be adjusted.
5.1	Tighten nut of cam bolt (2)	Only if the wheel camber has to be adjusted.
